I've been using Fordson, excellent for my purposes, also moves away from the "traditional Moodle look". But, having said that, I keep everything as simple as I can, for three reasons:
1. "I am moving on", always expect to move to another site. This way anyone coming in after me doesn't have a major learning curve to deal with.
2. Never have a lot of fiddling around after an update, e.g. looking for updated 3rd party plugins, or worrying about having 3rd party plugins used that no longer have a developer or maintainer.
3. Greater complexity increases risks of errors. I know, I might be labelled as "risk averse", but for me, there is not always enough hours in a day for me to do what I need to do, let alone having to repair a broken Moodle.
